Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study will be done to investigate the effectiveness of a 24-week multidomain intervention program consisting of cognitive training, exercise, nutrition management, vascular disease risk factor management, social activity, and motivational enhancement on the cognitive function compared to the control group in mild cognitive impairment.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Behavioral: Multidomain intervention
N/A

Detailed Description

The physical exercise program will consist of aerobic exercise, exercise to enhance balance and flexibility, muscle-strengthening activities involving major muscle groups, and finger-toe movements. Cognitive training targets the cognitive domains of episodic memory, executive function, attention, working memory, calculation, and visuospatial function. Cognitive training will be conducted using a tablet-based application. Participants will be advised to eat something according to the recommendation of the MIND diet. They will also meet the study nurse every 4 weeks for anthropometric measurements and monitoring of smoking and alcohol intake. The purpose of the motivational enhancement program is to induce, maintain, and strengthen motivation, which is a psychological resource to help maintain dementia prevention activities.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Multidomain intervention

The participants in the intervention arm will receive all five components of the intervention: (1) monitoring and management of metabolic and vascular risk factors; (2) cognitive training and social activity; (3) physical exercise; (4) nutritional guidance; and (5) motivational training.

Behavioral: Multidomain intervention
For 24 weeks, participants will receive cognitive training using the tablet PC application twice a week, exercise 3 times a week, nutrition education 12 times, anthropometric measurements and alcohol and smoking monitoring every 4 weeks, motivation reinforcement training 4 times.

No Intervention: Control

At baseline, the participants in the control group will meet a study doctor, be prescribed medication when necessary, and receive educational booklets corresponding to their risk factors and a booklet on lifestyle guidelines to prevent dementia. They will receive usual care during the study period and be informed that they could participate in the multidomain intervention program after this study end.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change of cognition [Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]

    Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (range 40-160). Higher scores indicate better performance.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change of global cognition [Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]

    Mini-Mental State Examination (range 0-30). Higher scores indicate better performance.

  2. Change of function [Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]

    Clinical Dementia Rating scale-Sum of Boxes (range 0-18). Higher scores indicate worse performance.

  3. Change of subjective memory [Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]

    Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire (range 16-80). Higher scores indicate worse performance.

  4. Change of depression [Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]

    Geriatric Depression Scale-15 items (range 0-15). Higher scores indicate worse performance.

  5. Change of quality of life [Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]

    Quality of life-Alzheimer's disease (range 0-52). Higher scores indicate better performance.

  6. Change of activities of daily living [Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]

    Bayer Activities of Daily Living (range 1-10). Higher scores indicate worse performance.

  7. Change of nutritional behavior [Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]

    Nutrition Quotient for elderly (range 0-100). Higher scores indicate better performance.

  8. Change of nutrition [Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]

    Mini Nutritional Assessment (range 0-14). Higher scores indicate better performance.

  9. Change of motor function [Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]

    Short Physical Performance Battery (range 0-12). Higher scores indicate better performance.

  10. Change of sleep quality [Change from Baseline at 24 weeks]

    Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (range 0-21). Higher scores indicate worse performance.

  11. Change of motivation [Change from Baseline at 24 weeks. Higher scores indicate better performance.]

    Self Determination Index (SDI). Higher scores of SDI indicate better performance.
